Accessible Web Development and Design
Web accessibility should be the new normal, and the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is meant to establish equality within the IT sphere. ADA web compliance helps people access websites easier, no matter their physical or cognitive abilities.
Consider building a fully compliant site or eCommerce solution? PixelPlex is here to offer a complete package of accessible web development and design. We’ll help your business stay strictly legal and competitive while unleashing the new growth potential.
ADA web compliance is a key to business growth
By settling things down with web accessibility, you make a monumental investment in an unwrecked reputation. This pays off times as much as lawsuit settlement costs, so it’s good to demonstrate your respect to legal requirements anyway.
In line with web accessibility standards, you can enable your website to support all major browsers. This way, you’ll show extra care about the disabled or elderly people who can’t regularly update legacy software or switch between platforms and browsers.
On its own, making your website convenient and comprehensible for each and every one translates into a consistent traffic rise. Add personalized user support to this, and you’ll see a quality shift in client satisfaction, along with revenue and customer base growth.
ADA web compliance means your code should be clean and properly tested manually, via screen readers, and with automated tools. Thus, upon the deployment stage you get bug-free software. To streamline your page maintenance, you’ll be able to automate code checking throughout the continuous integration and delivery processes.
Take a look at our insights to make sure your website should follow the web accessibility standards and ask our assistance any time – we’re always here for a free consulting call.

It’s undeniable that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to re-evaluate their online presence. Some had no presence, scrambling to get a functioning website up and running. Others were overly confident thinking they’re all set, quickly realizing that their website isn’t good enough to support the sudden traffic from their home-bound customers.
To demonstrate transparency, companies report on their conformity to accessibility standards through a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This template is then used by governments, non-government organisations and private institutions to evaluate the products and services offered in terms of their accessibility.
Using accessible fonts that conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a vital step towards designing websites that are ADA compliant and can reach a broad audience. An accessible font is one that is simple, clear, and legible, and will not slow the reading speed of any user, including those with visual impairments, dyslexia, and reading disorders.
